Airport Information
Goroka Airport
Set high in Papua New Guinea’s mountainous interior, Goroka Airport (GKA) serves as one of the principal aviation gateways to the Eastern Highlands. Sitting more than 1,500 metres above sea level, the airport plays a vital role in connecting the Highlands region with the rest of the country through scheduled services, aircraft charter flights and private aviation operations.
The airport lies just outside the town of Goroka, surrounded by steep green valleys and rugged mountain ridges that define the Highlands landscape. In a region where road travel between provinces can take many hours across difficult terrain, aviation remains the fastest and most reliable way to move between communities.

During festival periods the airport becomes an important arrival point for travellers exploring the cultural heart of the country.
Operations into Goroka require experienced aviation planning. The airport’s high elevation, mountainous terrain and rapidly changing weather conditions mean flight performance and local operational knowledge are critical when arranging aircraft charter into the Highlands.
